Several Orthodox Jewish groups asked the U.S. Supreme Court in a Monday filing to lift New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s restrictions on gatherings at houses of worship during the coronavirus pandemic.
In the filing, the groups -- which include Agudath Israel of America and Agudath Israel of Kew Garden Hill in New York -- ask the court to grant an injunction blocking Cuomo’s restrictions on attendance at houses of worship.The groups argue that Cuomo’s office had engaged in “the discriminatory targeting of the Orthodox Jewish community in crafting and implementing” the restrictions.
